Pine-Strawberry Labor Day gala this weekend

You work hard all year, but Labor Day weekend is almost here! Isn’t it time for some fun?

Pack up the car and the kids and head “over the mountain and through the woods” to beautiful Strawberry and Pine, Arizona. Guaranteed fun and coolness for the entire family.

Playground, clowns, and face-painting for the kids, as mom and dad browse over 80 booths and meet some very talented artists and crafters displaying their beautiful hand-crafted items. Dads are sure to enjoy the carvings in wood while consuming a giant sized Navajo taco, while mom admires beaded denim handbags, original hand-made clothing, unique jewelry and so much more.

There is original artwork by widely-recognized Arizona artists including the heart-felt paintings of Ruthellen Mason, meticulously crafted wooden bowls by Curt Harp, and extraordinary basketry of Bob Gleason.

Grab a picnic table under the ramada and enjoy the many food choices from the variety of food vendors on hand to satisfy whatever your appetite.

Take a leisurely walk in the woods and give the kids a fun and hands-on science lesson about ponderosa pines, rocks, creeks, fresh air, bugs, and maybe take home a pine cone or two.

For a memorable holiday weekend, set your GPS navigation system on a course for Pine, Arizona or just head to Highway 87, just 15 miles north of Payson. For further information, please visit our website at http://pine-strawberryartscrafts.com.
